Lesson One - N.E.W.T.
Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

Lesson One - N.E.W.T. Li9olo10

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Lesson One - N.E.W.T. Empty Lesson One - N.E.W.T.

Post by James William Wilson Sun Oct 04, 2009 6:34 pm

Professor Wilson entered his classroom. He passed through the empty desks and sat on his chair. He took his wand out and pointed it at the blackboard. Suddenly, a lot of text appeared. Why? He liked to let the students copy the important information and then listen to his lesson without the worry of writing his lesson down. That causes distraction. He then pointed his wand at the desks, and a note appeared on them: ''Copy the text from the blackboard!'' It was just a note for the students who came to the class to copy the text. After all of them were finished, he would start talking. He was done so he had some time to relax before the class starts.

Arthur entered the classroom. ''Greetings professor'', he said bowing to his friend and mentor, and he received a polite smile. He saw the note on the desk where he sat. ''Your standard method'', he remarked. He took his notebook out and copied the text. It was about Muggle history, regarding the beginnings. He liked History in general, so the N.E.W.T. classes were definitely going to be a lot of fun. He wrote very quickly so he was done with the copying in just a few minutes. He then started relaxing a little.

Ami noticed as she walked in that they had yet another new professor. She sighed and sat in the back.

Godric entered the class room his face burried in yet another Muggle Manga. He didn't even notice the new Professor. It didn't matter anyway. As he took his normal seat he noticed the note from the teacher. Taking out his quill and parchment he started copying the text on the board. Not his favorit way to learn but oh well. You know what they say, all good things come to those who take the power, or something like that. He thought to himself. He busied himself with the obvious busy work, he doubted the teacher even cared if they passed of failed.

Professor Wilson had waited long enough. All the ones who were present had done their work and he himself was ready for class. With a flick of his hand the writing on the blackboard disappeared. It was now time for class. He stood up and looked at the students who were present.

''Well, I suppose an introduction is in order. I am professor James William Wilson and I will be teaching Muggle Studies for the remainder of the year. Although this is a subject very little students take, that does not mean I will treat it like that. This is a boring theoretical subject and you will have to study hard, but that is what is expected of you. Accio wands'', he said. Without the use of his wand, the wands of the students landed in his hand. He put them on his table.

''Now, you may wonder why I did this. This is a non-magical subject and I will not allow you to amuse yourself and your colleagues at the cost of my bemusement. Therefore, no wands in this classroom, unless it is mine. Now, that we have settled that, let us decide upon the points. Each one of you that is late on my class will get 10 points removed for his House, while each one who is on time will get 5 points for his House. Also, for each question I ask on the class and you know the answer, your House will receive some points, depending on the question and your answer. Now, two Gryffindor's are here, which would mean 10 points, but one is not here, therefore, minus 10 points. That adds to zero, so no changes for now. I take away 10 points from Ravenclaw, and now for Slytherin. I have 5 of you and I only see 2, meaning that you gain 10 and lose 30 points which adds to 20. I take away 20 points from Slytherin. Also, you will receive grades and points for your homework, which will be assigned to you at the end of the class'', he continued.

He stopped for a while to look at the students. Some of them were bewildered by his method, he could tell that. ''Now, I think all of this is settled. If I remember anything, I will make a digression during class. I tend to to that. Oh yes! You will have three exams this year. One when we finish Muggle History, one when we finish Muggle Art and one when we finish all of the lessons. That is the Final Exam that will include everything that we have learned. The grades from the exams will be most important for you passing my subject and getting the chance of writing a N.E.W.T. exam in Muggle Studies. You will have to study and I may ask some questions during class which will give or take points for or from your House. You study for yourself and not for me, therefore I expect of you to know what we have learned, because if you do not, I will fail you without any hesitation. I like students who work and I expect of you to do just that. I will reward hard working students and will always praise success, but I will also punish failure. There will be no detentions from me, just to know. I do not have the time nor the nerves to watch you while you do some useless and irrelevant task. You will lose points or get extra homework, but no detention. Now, I think I have said everything. Are there any questions you wish to ask? Anything unclear? If yes, ask, if not, you will answer this question. Can anyone here, except Poe, if no one does, you will, tell me something he know about the beginning of mankind. When, where, how... and everything else you know. Now, anyone?'', he asked them.

Godric smiled, he knew both the Darwin theory of evolution and many Religious views on the start of mankind.

Well according to Darwin's theory of Evolution, we, as we are today, actualy evolved from primates over the course of thousends of years. Starting right after the Ice age. Natural selection. We started using higher brain function therefor becoming the masters of the times. If you care to take a religious view on it, no matter the religion, then we were created to keep the higher powers company, or amused, or for any other such reasons. Religion would have it that we were around in the begining. Where as sicence would have it that the thunderlizards were around for thousends of years before man walked on two legs. No one has truly answred that quiestion since the begining of mankind. Simply due to the fact that there were no writen rekords of it. But it is belived that man has walked the earth since well before 1800 BC. His tone wasn't board but enthraled by the fact that a teacher would ask such an open ended quistion.
